It’s a pretty big call, but Elle UK think they’ve managed to single out the 25 most key clothing pieces of all time and work them into one big (and admittedly stunning) shoot. So how do Elle turn key pieces into key styling ideas? Take some cropped cigarette pants and a cashmere sweater, some Breton stripes, or a shearling aviator jacket and watch the rocking ’50s looks pour forth; while the sexy ’60s is represented by bombshell corsetry and full skirts with cinched in waists. Whatever the look, whatever the setting, Coco Rocha shines and David Vasiljevic‘s photography captures every movement in theatrical style.
